Short Statement:
The original estimates provided that after the first seven respondents file, the SEC believes that additional entities would file an initial Form 1-N on an extremely infrequent basis, if ever. This submission provides that the SEC continues to believe that additional entities would file an initial Form 1-N on an extremely infrequent basis, if ever, based upon its experience over the last few years with initial Form 1-N filings. In addition, the SEC has analyzed the number of Security Futures Product Exchanges that have listed and traded security futures products and, based on that analysis, has determined that three Security Futures Product Exchanges are likely to continue making amendments and updates to their Form 1-N and continue providing periodic information and monthly reports. The burden estimates above associated with amendments and updates to the Form 1-N and the submission of periodic and monthly reports are applied to the existing Security Futures Product Exchanges that file such reports currently.
